Integrating Cassandra into your project
In the PHP world, we quickly get familiar with MySQL, but the disadvantages become clear. Nowadays we hear a lot about NoSQL. In this session we learn about the internals, advantages and disadvantages of Cassandra. During the presentation we will see what it takes to design a distributed database, how an application can scale to hundreds of servers and why we choose Cassandra.
